I'd suggest two main things to you: 1) It reads as if you're applying to this program because you didn't have another option after not finding work. You "stumbled across it" in your own words. It doesn't read as if you really have a passion for game design. 2) Make sure you really want to be a game designer. If you fear…
Yep, mod teams haven't gone away, they're just called "indie teams" now. 10 years ago you would be talking hundreds of thousands of dollars to license a game engine and bring a product to market, so it just wasn't feasible for small groups to make commercial projects, hence the large "mod" scene where people did projects…
@LucasJohansson Looks awesome! Actually really helps to see someone finished, I realised I was interpreting those corners really weirdly. @AndySC Love the wear and tear on your guy. Did you do it by hand or did you use a Substance Painter mask generator? If so which one(s)? The only thing I'd say to improve would be the…
My fiance's uncle worked two full-time jobs, 16 hour work days, 6 days a week for 11 years in the Philippines. He ended up losing blood circulation to his toes due to lack of sleep, but could not afford to raise a family in a tiny shack if he didn't work that hard. I don't think we're quite at that level of crisis. Sure,…
The interface resembles windows 95 and the controls are quirky BUT, in my opinion the unfolding algorithm is bulletproof. Make cuts, drop to UV space, push button, done. It's so reliable that if it fails to unwrap a complex shell instantly then 9 times out 10 I know that I have messed up the cuts. Also it unwraps…
Ged : my pc is due back from the repair shop today or tomorrow I was having the same freezing issues as you! They are saying it is a ram configuration problem, the motherboard manual section for fitting ram wasn't clear at all and it took a phonecall to the manufacturers to reveal the proper placement. The ram slots x8 (2…
Yep, $200 for 'adv diag and repair' as it's called, which means they test the hardware for defects and scan/clean spyware/viruses (95% of which is done automaticaly by the MRI disc). About 2 years ago they decided to cram most of their services into that package to force people to pay huge sums. And that's in store, can't…
I know a higher profile pc game who have 95% piracy and it had a demo. Horrible. Oh well... Maybe if it was harder to use a pirate game or something I mean if I want to buy a game i can go 500 meters and do that or I can download a illegal copy and if I clone myself I would probably have the illegal copy up and running…
vladino - thanks :) solid3 - Yo, thanks for the crit. This is the reference that I worked off of for the rack. Maybe to make it look more balanced i could just fix where the rack is setup so it is more centered. Different torpedo similar rack. Shepeiro - Ya I think I will have to go higher poly on the parts with smoothing…
